The project involves working within the Spectroscopy and Photometry of Exoplanet AtmopsheresResearch Network (SPEARNET). SPEARNET is a new Manchester-led international survey, involvingcolleagues at Manchester, Open University, NARIT (Thailand) and ARIES (India). It is using a globallydistributed network of optical and IR telescopes, from 0.5m to 8m aperture, to undertake multiepoch,multi-wavelength observations of exoplanet transits. The multiwavelength observations areused to measure the transmission spectrum of the atmospheres of Hot Jupiters and Neptunes. Thegoal of SPEARNET is to provide a testbed for how to conduct optimal, objectively-selected statisticalstudies of exoplanet atmospheres in an era where, thanks to missions such as NASA TESS, ESA PLATOand ESA ARIEL, we expect to have far more targets than we are able to follow up from the ground.

该项目涉及系外行星大气光谱和光度学研究网络(SPEARNET)内的工作。SPEARNET是曼彻斯特领导的一项新的国际调查，参与调查的有曼彻斯特大学、开放大学、泰国Narit和印度白羊座的同事。它正在使用一个全球分布的光学和红外望远镜网络，从0.5米到8米口径，对系外行星凌日进行多时期、多波长的观测。多波长观测被用来测量热木星和海王星大气的透射谱。SPEARNET的目标是为如何对系外行星大气进行最佳的、客观选择的统计研究提供一个试验台。在这个时代，由于NASA TESS、ESA PLATO和ESA Ariel等任务，我们预计拥有的目标将远远超过我们从地面跟进的能力。
